- RGRoseAnn GutierrezNov 15, 20251.0Just got my hair cut. Went home and brushed my hair and a I belive the girls name was Sandra missed a whole section in the back. There was a bunch of random longer (half inch) pieces. Never again will I go to her
- MOMarjorie OvaaNov 4, 20255.0Have always loved Great Clips in Las Vegas NV and Albuquerque. I got a wonderful haircut today. Better than what I expected expected. I'm almost 79 years old and on a walker. Everyone I met was caring and accommodating.
- JAJessica AtencioNov 1, 20251.0Very poor experience. Male stylist had the nerve to ask me if I was the one to cut my son's hair prior to this visit. Then, asked my son if I was a nice mom during the haircut. When finished with the haircut I was asked if it was okay. I asked if he could cut it shorter. Male stylist was unhappy that he had to go back to the chair to cut off more hair, knowing that I wanted a "0" on the sides. Because he had to correct the haircut, he made my son's haircut super short on the top and super short bangs. I had asked him to only cut off the sides. Very disappointed with the way this male stylist handled this situation. I definitely will not be going back and taking my business elsewhere.
- TBTamara BarrettOct 23, 20251.0On the afternoon of 10/22/25, I requested my bangs to be slightly layered and I asked the male stylist to also take two inches off the rest (blunt cut). He seemed rushed, even though there was only one other customer who was waiting. He never offered me a mirror so I could take a look. When I got home I couldn’t believe the choppy layers he left me with! It will take me a couple of years to get my hair back to one length. I will never return.
- LPLawrence PerezOct 20, 20255.0I’ve been coming to this Great Clips for a while and it’s always a five-star experience — but this last visit was next level. Turns out it was my stylist’s birthday! I came in for a haircut and somehow left feeling like I’d just crashed a surprise party (without bringing a gift). Everyone here is always super friendly and welcoming, and the online check-in makes it so easy — I barely had time to second-guess my haircut decision before I was in the chair. If they start serving cake on birthdays, I might just move in permanently. 🎂✂️
